Simulated Altitude Performance of Mark 11 Reentry Vehicle Spin and Pitch Motors Having Ages from 37 to 102 Months.

Abstract

Twenty Atlantic Research Corporation (ARC) pitch motors (0.5-KS-30) (9 of P/N 331121-1 and 11 of P/N 330198-10 and twenty ARC spin motors (1-KS-30) (9 of P/N 331120-1 and 11 of P/N 330130-1) were subjected to prescribed nondestructive sinusoidal vibration, temperature cycling (from -35 to +125F), and electrical resistance measurements and tested at pressure altitudes ranging from 135,000 to 141,000 ft to investigate the possibility of extending the service life of the motors. The ages of the motors ranged from 37 to 102 months.
